Dishes
Pork BellyPork belly is a cut of meat from the pig's abdomen, characterized by alternating layers of fat and lean meat, which gives it the name 'five-layered' or 'five-striped'. Common cooking methods include braising, stir-frying, or stewing. During cooking, the fat melts, resulting in tender meat with an aromatic flavor.
PotatoPotatoes are peeled and cut into cubes or slices, then cooked by frying, boiling, steaming, or stir-frying. Common preparations include potato shreds, braised potatoes with meat, mashed potatoes, and french fries. The main ingredient is potatoes, with optional seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers added according to taste.
Stewed Pork Ribs in Clay PotStir-fried spare ribs in a clay pot is a dish featuring pork ribs as the main ingredient, typically boiled and then stewed with potatoes and green peppers, finally pan-fried in an iron pot until slightly charred for tender meat and rich flavor.
Earth Pot FlatbreadA flatbread made primarily from flour, cooked in a cast-iron skillet until golden. Rolled thin and fried on both sides, it can include scallions or sesame for flavor. Served with dishes or alone as a staple food.
Stove Pot ChickenStewed chicken in a clay pot is a dish primarily made with chicken, cooked with various spices and seasonal vegetables. Its distinctive feature lies in the use of a specially designed clay pot that ensures even heating, preserving the tender texture of the chicken. During cooking, flatbread is placed around the edge of the pot and steamed together, resulting in a crispy top and chewy bottom that absorbs the rich broth, creating a deliciously flavorful dish.
